Shortcomings of the dividend pricing models suggest that we need a pricing model that is more inclusive than the dividend models and provides expected returns for companies based on aspects besides their historical dividend patterns
Which of the below is NOT one of these aspects?
A) The company's risk
B) The premium for taking on risk
C) The reward for waiting
D) Stable dividends
Answer: D
Explanation: D) What we need is a pricing model that is more inclusive than the dividend model in that it can estimate expected returns for stocks without the need for a stable dividend history. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is more inclusive and provides expected returns for companies based on (1) their risk, (2) the premium for taking on risk, and (3) the reward for waiting, and not on their historical dividend patterns.

The local convenience store makes personal sized pizzas. Currently, its process makes complete pizzas, fully cooked, for the customer. This process has a fixed cost of $20,000, and a variable cost of $1.75 per pizza
The owner is considering a different process that can make pizzas in two ways: completely cooked (as before), or partially cooked and then flash frozen for the customer to finish heating at home. This alternate process has a fixed cost of $24,000, but a lower variable cost (because much less energy is used in baking) of $1.25 per pizza. a. What is the crossover point between the existing process and the proposed process? b. If the owner expects to sell 9,000 pizzas, should he get the new oven?
